Chapter 176: To All That Are Great, I Hold No Respect!
“Shatter, Reflections on Water and Flowers.”
A nightmarish voice came from the front, startling everyone in the Blood God Sect.
Before their eyes, cracks appeared in the Void, as if the space was breaking apart, but the result was even more terrifying.
“Crack!”
Accompanied by the sound of breaking, everything turned into phantom images. Unbeknownst to them, Zhou Tong and the others had already arrived behind them.
They then actively walked into the largest Blood Pool!
“You… you actually used illusion techniques.”
The leader of the Blood God Sect, Ya Zi, glared furiously at Zhou Tong.
“This is not some low-level illusion technique; it is the manipulation of the five senses. Your sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste are all under my control!”
“Roar!”
Xiao Bai appeared, looking smugly at everyone.
As a manifestation of the Formless Realm, stopping time was merely one of its many facets.
Seeing this scene, the opponents instantly revealed expressions of horror.
With this kind of ability, was Zhou Tong not in an invincible position?
“Don’t be so surprised; facing opponents with cultivation far superior to mine, this technique is useless, so I can only use it against you.”
Zhou Tong’s tone was teasing, making these people feel humiliated to death.
“When… when did you discover us?”
The Blood God Sect members gritted their teeth, utterly frustrated, having been wiped out before they even made a move.
They were unwilling to accept defeat!
“Ha… what a ridiculous question, I should ask you…”
Zhou Tong smiled and said, “When did you create the illusion that I didn’t discover you!”
Upon hearing this, the Blood God Sect members fell into complete despair.
“Gurgle, gurgle…”
At that moment, the Blood Pool began to churn, and the sacrificial ceremony officially commenced.
“Ah, ah, ah…”
The disciples of the Blood God Sect looked terrified, struggling desperately, trying to escape their dire situation.
But they were too weak; all their efforts were in vain.
“Don’t give up, children… don’t be afraid, we old men will protect you!”
The elder of the Blood God Sect gritted his teeth and said, even at the cost of expending energy to push some younger disciples out of the Blood Pool.
This scene stunned Zhou Tong.
If those elders were to exert their full power and burn their cultivation, they might have been able to escape and survive.
Now, however, they disregarded their own safety and even burned their essence blood to save the sect’s disciples, leading only to a dead end for themselves.
When did the old folks of the Blood God Sect become so noble?
“Do you think I’ll let you have your way?”
Zhou Tong raised his hand, ready to slay those who climbed ashore!
“Young man, I beg you to spare us!”
The leader of the Blood God Sect wept bitterly, pleading, “These children are all new disciples, with no enmity towards you; they are innocent. Please grant them their lives!”
“You old fool, you speak so lightly. The seeds of hatred have already been sown!”
Zhou Tong said coldly, preparing for a massacre.
“Please wait, I am willing to lay down a curse with my life, making it so they can never take revenge on you. How about that?”
Seemingly afraid Zhou Tong would refuse, the old man shouted desperately, “It is our fault for seeking death, worthless to regret. Please just kill us and let the children go!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong surprisingly fell silent.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, he stepped directly into the Blood Pool. The ripples under his feet dispersed, as he remained untouched by all laws, approaching the leader of the Blood God Sect.
“I have only one question for you: where did you get the information to understand this place so well?”
“As this old man is nearing death, there’s nothing to hide anymore. It was the Sect Master of the Body Forging Sect who told us.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong narrowed his eyes, sensing the scent of conspiracy.
“How could the Body Forging Sect know so much?”
“That old man didn’t clarify, he only told us that there was a key here for us to retrieve.”
“And the people from the Body Forging Sect were responsible for finding treasures that matched the key, so when we find the secret treasure, we will fairly distribute it.”
“Then your wishes are destined to fail, because the people from the Body Forging Sect have already been dealt with by me!”
Zhou Tong sneered, but his heart tightened, considering one possibility.
The Body Forging Sect might have sent more than one wave of people, and there may be others mixed into the secret realm, preparing to take action.
At that moment, Zhou Tong suddenly felt a change in his brow!
“Get up! Everyone into the air!”
In an instant, he waved his hand, lifting everyone in the Blood Pool, while the people from the Supreme Clarity Sect also soared into the sky simultaneously.
“You…”
The old man hadn’t had time to say anything when he saw the ground collapsing rapidly below.
The entire secret realm collapsed in an instant, transforming into a vast Blood Pool. Those who had not risen into the air were all harmed, turning into offerings in this place.
“How is this possible?”
The Blood God Sect members trembled, their faces filled with complexity as they looked at Zhou Tong.
They never expected that Zhou Tong would become their savior.
“Lord Zhou’s great kindness… I will never forget this!”
The old man struggled to say, his face twitching violently, clearly disgusted by this act of kindness.
But regardless, without Zhou Tong, they would have been completely annihilated by now.
“I saw something interesting.”
Zhou Tong smiled, plucking a wisp of gray aura from the back of the opponent’s neck.
“What is this?” The opponent was startled, anger bubbling up within.
“This is a tracking and positioning method. Once you all become sacrifices, the people from the Body Forging Sect will come to collect the spoils.”
“That pack of beasts dare to conspire against us!”
The elder of the Blood God Sect raged, his eyes turning red as he gazed at Zhou Tong.
“I heard that you intend to destroy the Body Forging Sect in three days. We will definitely assist and crush those scoundrels!”
“Excellent!”
Zhou Tong smiled in satisfaction and then threw the wisp of aura into the Blood Pool.
Immediately after, he laid out an illusion array, transforming this place into flat ground.
“Master is brilliant!”
The old man gave a thumbs up. With this, the Body Forging Sect could only go to the Hall of Hell if they wanted to take advantage.
“Roar…”
A dragon’s roar echoed throughout, instantly alerting everyone.
“This place has absorbed countless sacrifices, the key should appear now.”
As the voice fell, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a giant dragon appeared before everyone.
It was a Water Dragon, over a hundred feet long, adorned in dark azure, exuding a violent aura as it stared at them.
“Look, its eyes!”
Shangguan Wugou said in a childish voice, “The key is in its eyes!”
“It’s indeed true!”
Zhou Tong’s expression grew serious as he stepped onto the Void, approaching the Water Dragon.
“Humans have become too arrogant!”
The Water Dragon suddenly roared in fury, mercilessly spewing a dragon breath towards Zhou Tong.
“Five Dragon Divine Symbol, Manifest Dragon in the Field!”
Zhou Tong punched through the dragon breath, standing at the same level as the Water Dragon, their gazes locked.
“Hand over the key now, and we’ll leave immediately,” Zhou Tong said calmly.
“Humans… you are merely food, unqualified to demand anything from me. You have already committed the sin of arrogance!”
The Water Dragon’s aura grew more violent: “To all that are great, I hold no respect!”
